Advocating for your Thyroid Health Across all your Relationships | Rachel Hill, The Invisible Hypothyroidism | Ep 103

Let's Talk Thyroid

Rachel Hill, renowned social media thyroid advocate, joins us to share her thyroid journey, right from her teenage years to her life-long commitment to raising awareness and advocating for thyroid health. Rachel’s candid discussions will leave you feeling enlightened, understood, and supported, regardless of where you are on your thyroid health journey.
We explore the importance of understanding, support and communication in managing thyroid conditions. From advocating for your health with your family, friends, and work colleagues to sharing your thyroid stories to increase awareness, this episode offers a comprehensive overview of a thyroid disease patient's reality. We also discuss the challenging task of managing a full time job while dealing with thyroid health issues, and we share practical strategies for balancing professional commitments and health needs.
Permeating personal boundaries, thyroid health also has a significant impact on our relationships. Essential conversation on how to manage day-to-day energy levels, using the Spoon Theory, and setting healthy boundaries to ensure long-term wellness are the highlights of this episode. We also engage in an insightful discussion on explaining thyroid conditions to children and making dietary changes, while ensuring a compassionate response from loved ones. With resources like podcasts and books, we leave you equipped to enhance the understanding of thyroid conditions among your circle.
